Well, your point is well taken. My impression of other posters here and at all the other starting web sites comes from reading other postings.

The only beef I have is when someone, conservative, liberal or otherwise comes up to a message board and says "what other viewpoint is there." the job of a news organization is to present both sides of an issue. NOT to be so one-sided in their ocverage of things.

It's quite obvious that Katie Couric and the Today Show does not know to how to cover issues in a fair and balanced manner.

As for this Bush issue, I just don't see this thing sticking quite frankly because after he sold it off the sotck went back up to twice the value it had when he held it so any ideas of improperities is really just not there.
Regards.

This lax policy might not cause Bush any direct trouble, but a depressed market caused by a complete lack of faith in the American market sure as hell would.

Enron and Worldcom are not unique, there are lots more to come

Well, maybe they'll have to give up on "Bush is corrupt" and go back to "Bush is SO stupid. He doesn't know how to sell his own stocks, how can we trust him with the economy."

"fair and balanced"

Yes, it amuses me how liberals can't stand the fact that FOX presents both sides of an issue, for which it is characterized as "right-wing," whereas the one-sided presentations of Couric are regarded as balanced and objective. The thing liberals can't stand about O'Rielly is that he asks tough questions of liberals as well as conservatives, and thus violates the unspoken rule that the press must be in cahoots with liberal politicians.
